Chapter 819 Let's all just be emo together and that's it.

boom--!!!

Liu Xiaojiang, who had already been overwhelmed by the aliens using various means, was bombarded in turn by the heavy weapons that the base had prepared in advance.

So much so that after the attackers were exhausted, before they could even see if their attack had successfully dealt a serious blow to Ying Gou, they were knocked to the ground by the aftershocks of the continuous bombardment.

Heavy tanks, light artillery, and even unmanned bombers taking off again from behind the base plaza...

Soldiers, who had long since gained control of various modern weapons, were now just like the other supernatural beings who had previously attacked without holding back. They believed that this was the last chance the war had left for them, and they were frantically attacking Liu Xiaojiang's location as if it were nothing.

This attack didn't even consider whether the people present would be affected. If it weren't for the fact that not all superhumans are qualified to stand in front of Ying Gou, there would still be many superhumans whose cultivation is not yet up to par who are closer to Elder Chen and the other ordinary people.

Even if the continuous bombings were some distance away from the people, the aftershocks would probably be enough to cause casualties to ordinary people.

Even though the superhumans reacted quickly, and those at the back had already moved away from their positions with the ordinary people around them as soon as the bombing started, the superhumans at the front who took the opportunity to surround Ying Gou and use their methods still suffered injuries due to their slow reaction.

Fortunately, these extraordinary individuals possessed considerable cultivation. Even after expending a significant amount of their Qi on Ying Gou, they were still able to protect themselves from the aftershocks of the explosion, preventing them from losing their lives due to a mere ripple.

The minor injuries they sustained due to their slow reaction were promptly treated by the prepared medics as they quickly retreated to a safe distance.

This was clearly a secret operation that the base had been preparing for long in order to defeat Ying Gou, but only now had the opportunity to strike, allowing them to launch such a rapid and orderly attack.

Everything was a detailed plan arranged in advance. The only change was that the one who created this opportunity was not the Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain as planned, but Elder An and the members of the World Society.

"This is our last trump card. We've already given you a way out. If you still refuse to back down and continue down this path... then no one can bear the consequences."

Old Chen glanced at Ji Yun and Ye Xing, the two Daoist disciples who were blocking his way and using golden light to shield him from the aftershocks in the distance. Then, he looked past the two in front of him and towards the area on the other side covered by black energy.

"The sacrifices we've made to solve this problem...aren't they enough?"

Fortunately,

The noise from the repeated bombings in the distance was simply too great.

The sounds Old Chen made while muttering to himself were completely negligible.

Otherwise, if someone were to overhear another high-ranking elderly person present making such remarks that sounded like a 'discussion,' it would be hard not to suspect that there might be something fishy going on.

……

The bombing continued for more than ten minutes without ending.

The black aura covering Elder An and the others on the other side in the distance gradually dissipated, and this time... the black aura actually disappeared into thin air before everyone's eyes, instead of fading away peacefully after achieving its purpose as before.

However, when the black energy disappeared, revealing the people within, the scene was no better than the previous times.

The area was littered with corpses, their skin a purplish-blue, and the once dense crowd of people standing there had dwindled to almost nothing.

Moreover, even among the few figures who remained standing after the black energy disappeared, most of them looked noticeably off. Some even knelt down within seconds, clearly indicating that they were in a state of near-consciousness.

thump……

Just when everyone thought that perhaps some of them could still survive, the few remaining figures began to fall to the ground one after another. In the end, only four people remained standing in everyone's sight.

Among the remaining four people, there was actually Old Man An, a frail old man who had no power whatsoever. He actually survived the terrifying black energy of an ordinary human being!

However, when people shifted their attention to the other three, especially after seeing Feng Zhenghao's condition next to Elder An, most people understood why Elder An was able to survive the erosion of the dark energy.

That's because Feng Zhenghao, as one of the Ten Elders, actually gave up all possibilities of his own survival in order to let Old Man An, an ordinary person, live!

also……

The other two people who survived the black energy's erosion were none other than Feng Zhenghao's beloved children. He actually used his own life as one of the Ten Elders to exchange for the lives of Elder An, an ordinary person, and his children!

really……

Despite his status, position, and shrewdness, Feng Zhenghao is still a flesh-and-blood human being, unable to make 'rational' choices in every situation.

Trading one of the Ten Elders for an ordinary person and two extraordinary juniors is a deal that anyone would undoubtedly consider a huge loss.

But Feng Zhenghao, as a human, as one of the Ten Elders, and as a father, still accepted this unprofitable deal.

The people present were clearly unwilling to accept Feng Zhenghao's actions, and some even wanted to accuse him of being irresponsible as one of the Ten Elders, because he was ignoring the risk that Ying Gou Ruo would still have resistance.

The role that a powerful figure of the Ten Elders level can play in front of Ying Gou is undoubtedly greater than that of an ordinary person and two junior figures of the same level.

But emotionally,

Almost everyone present could be considered a hero, and what they were doing was in line with the positive emotions that humans should have, so no one would actually say anything to criticize Feng Zhenghao.

Because if they were replaced by Feng Zhenghao, in that desperate situation where they were surrounded by black energy and had nowhere to escape, they might have made a choice that was almost no different from Feng Zhenghao's.

After all, one of those three people represents the hope for the future and is very suitable to continue leading people forward in the future, while the other two... are a pair of children who are enough to make anyone feel gratified.

Feng Zhenghao's actions may not have been rational, but he can still be considered to have a clear conscience. As a person, no one would assume that someone else should do something if they are smart, since they themselves cannot do it.

“Dad…” Feng Xingtong had thought he was going to die, but then he found that he had not been affected by the corruption. When he looked up at his father, he immediately understood the reason. He knew that his father had used his Qi to take the corruption for him.

Needless to say, Feng Shayan, who was standing to the side, was a natural-born extraordinary person whose cultivation of Qi was far from sufficient. She knew that she could not survive by relying on her own strength, so she had already come to Feng Zhenghao's side to support her father, who was about to be completely eroded by the corpse poison.

"Why do you have to do this? Anyway..."

"Seeing that you and Xingtong are about to give up, as a father... I can't just watch you both die when there's a way to save you." Feng Zhenghao shook his head, enduring the corrosive effects within his body.

Although most of his meridians had been corroded by the corpse poison, the immense life force he had borrowed from the possessing spirit meant he wouldn't die so quickly in front of everyone. So, just as Feng Shayan was about to let something slip, he immediately stopped his silly daughter.

“Young Feng, your daughter is right. Rather than saving the three of us who are not a significant burden to the battle, as one of the Ten Elders… if you have a chance to survive, you should stay and continue to serve as a fighting force.” Old An shook his head helplessly upon learning that he was still alive.

What the hell is going on? Why is it so hard to commit suicide?

These two nuisances are all doing it out of the good name, and I can't even utter a single curse at them.

Regardless of what he was really thinking at that moment, facing Feng Zhenghao who had risked his life to save him from the dark energy, Old Man An could only grit his teeth and continue to perform his acting skills, suppressing the urge to curse him and expressing his admiration.

Otherwise, if people see through your true attitude, things will only get more complicated!

Think of it...

Old An left Feng Zhenghao's last moments to the two young men, then looked up at the bombing zone in the distance, which was gradually calming down.

Xiao Jiang, although the best opportunity has come, please don't die now. This old man... hasn't even gotten on the bus yet!

however,

Old Master An was standing to the side at that moment.

Even if the three members of the Feng family present wanted to say something, they would still be mindful of their roles in this incident and dare not say too much under the old man's watchful eye.

And so... an awkward situation arose.

Old Master An thought that the Feng family, who knew nothing about him, would surely want to say something to their father before he died, especially since the two young men had saved him.

As a result, the Feng siblings, who knew that their current death was not a real one, faced their father, whose passing was clearly only a matter of time, and could only stare at each other awkwardly, seemingly having no intention of saying anything.

See here,

Old Master An looked at the three members of the Feng family with some doubt. "Children, your father is about to die. Don't you want to say something to him one last time?"

"..." Feng Shayan and Feng Xingtong.

"Cough..." The bluish-purple color gradually appeared on Feng Zhenghao's neck and was spreading to other parts of his body at a relatively slow speed, but even so... Feng Zhenghao didn't know how to get out of this predicament.

After all, he didn't know the full details of the plan, so he believed that in Old Man An's eyes, all deaths should be considered true deaths.

And he himself, like everyone else, would also sacrifice himself on this battlefield. Even if he said that because of the presence of an outsider like Old Man An, his two children couldn't open up and confide in him, it would probably only make this shrewd old man notice something amiss.

After all, their father was going to die, and he was going to die because he was saving them. At this point, what normal person would still have anything to hold back?

Therefore, the only way to solve the problem is for the two children to truly believe that they are going to die, and then, in that moment, speak to their dying father about things they can't normally say.

but……

Feng Zhenghao looked up at his two children, whose faces were flushed red, and was momentarily speechless at their uninhibited behavior.

They are all people who care about their reputation, and they know for certain that they will not die. If they say what they don't dare to say normally now, how will their two children face their old father when he wakes up again in the future?

Feng Zhenghao clearly knows his two children very well, so... because he felt that the Feng family might be suspected by Elder An, he became even more emo.

As everyone knows,

Old Master An's mind is not on this at all right now; although he has some doubts about the relationship between the Feng family father and son.

However, since he hadn't managed to die at Ying Gou's hands as a hope, and he didn't know if Liu Xiaojiang had noticed the situation here, his mind was entirely focused on the distant place, fearing that Liu Xiaojiang would take the opportunity that had finally appeared to go down the path.

If you were to end up alone on the steps, the significance of this "survival" situation in people's minds would definitely be greatly diminished, and it might not be long before it's simply considered a thing of the past.

After all, no matter how great the sacrifices were, or how dire the situation was, if the impression left in people's minds wasn't deep enough, then people... would only remember that they ultimately won!

Old Master An has no time to think about the problems between the Feng family father and son right now.

He was standing here now, and he felt even more emo than the three members of the Feng family!

however,

Whoosh! ! !

Before anyone present could realize that Elder An and the three members of the Feng family were acting strangely, and before the smoke and heat in the area could completely dissipate, a black blade shot out of the smoke and towards Elder An's location.

Next second,

Before anyone else could react, the black blade pierced through Elder An's chest with a 'thud,' and then, as if possessing its own consciousness, it swiftly fell, pinning the dying Feng Zhenghao to the ground.

"...It's alright." Old An felt a sharp pain, but quickly went numb. He looked down at the hole in his chest and murmured something only he could hear before losing consciousness and collapsing under everyone's gaze.

As for Feng Zhenghao...

His situation was actually similar to that of Elder An. Feeling the rapid loss of his life force, he ultimately felt that it would be better to die, because if he died... he wouldn't have to continue the previous awkward situation, and no one would doubt the role of the Feng family in this incident.

However, the crowd who had not noticed the abnormality of Elder An and the three members of the Feng family, after witnessing the black blade shot out from the smoke and dust, had their emotions, which had been stabilizing, rise to their throats again, and they all looked at the smoke and dust in the distance with renewed vigilance.

Ying Gou is still alive!

They had no more trump cards left!

They even lost the only hope that Elder An was suitable to continue leading everyone forward!

future,

A complete darkness...

Chapter 820 Darkness Will Eventually Be Dispelled by Light

Inside the venue,

The smoke of battle and the terrifying heat still linger.
